Abstract

Comprehending and maintaining software is one of the core software engineering activities from early implementation to long-term software evolution. This paper describes an Eclipse based tool, which provides some quantitative insights into how different programmers develop and maintain software. In addition it presents a comparative pilot study that utilised the tool on a number of student programmers to gain insights in to how they utilise an interactive Development Environment.
